This game featured a match-up between two of the Q’s best point-per-game players, Jonathan Druin (2013) and Kucherov. Druin, the game’s first star, had a goal and two assists in Halifax’s 5-2 win. Kucherov had a highlight-reel goal for the losing side. Druin has 97 points (38 goals) in 44 games. He is also a plus-44 and expected to go top-3 in this summer's draft.

Val-d’Or got a goal, two assists, and a shootout goal from former Lightning camper Brandon Hynes to beat the visiting Rocket, 6-5. The Foreurs scored the final three goals of regulation to force overtime.

Richard (pictured) returned from an upper body injury to notch three assists and get first star in Guelph’s road win over the surging Greyhounds. Guelph stayed ahead of the Soo in the Western Conference standings. The Storm are currently the five-seed and the Greyhounds the six. Both have clinched playoff spots.

Note: Windsor’s Slater Koekkoek is out for the season with an injured shoulder.
